Three For What Used To Be 4
Sure, TV has featured
transgender characters, but there's never been anything quite like what
Ryan Murphy (Nip/Tuck) wants to put on the small screen with his
new pilot, the one formerly known as 4 oz. (the weight of the
"average" penis).
Murphy's now unnamed comedy/drama is about a man actually in the process
of transitioning to womanhood.
In the wake of Felicity Huffman's Oscar nomination for Transamerica,
finding an actor willing to walk a mile in heels was probably easy, but
Murphy has chosen Shakespeare in Love star Joseph Fiennes from the
pool of wannabe ladies.
Meanwhile, Blythe Danner and Robert Wagner are also on board as Fiennes'
parents. Murphy already directed Fiennes once, in the little-seen
Running with Scissors.
Here's hoping this second collaboration will meet a kinder fate.
